2019 UCLA Pow Wow
All are welcome at the 34th Annual UCLA Pow Wow on May 4-5, 2019 on the UCLA North Athletic Field in Los Angeles, California. Each spring, UCLA’s American Indian Student Association hosts the two-day UCLA Pow Wow, drawing hundreds of Native Americans from Southern California and beyond to UCLA’s North Athletic Field to celebrate their cultures and compete in a variety of dance events.
UCLA Pow Wow
For many Native Americans who live in urban areas, pow wows play a key role in preserving cultural practices and building community. At UCLA, organizers use the pow wow to introduce Native youth to campus and the cultural support available to Native students. Attendees are encouraged to bring your own folding chairs and canopies.

About the UCLA Pow Wow
Founded in 1985, the UCLA Powwow is the second largest student-organized event on campus. A pow wow is a gathering of people from across different tribal backgrounds to express themselves in traditional and contemporary dance, songs and social activities. UCLA Pow Wow is an especially important social celebration that invites the campus community to join the larger American Indian community of Los Angeles and beyond. This event is crucial to American Indian Student Association’s mission to inform UCLA students about the native community on campus and to correct negative stereotypes about American Indian people in society.
